Trends in Immunology

Aims & Scope

Trends in Immunology plays an essential role in monitoring advances in the various fields of immunology, bringing together the results in a readable and lucid form.

The backbone of each issue is a series of succinct reviews and hypothesis-driven viewpoints.

Together with the other sections of the magazine they give the reader a complete picture of the diverse field of immunology.

This broad perspective makes Trends in Immunology an invaluable information source for researchers, lecturers and students alike.

Trends in Immunology helps to link developments in basic and clinical immunology, and is now established as one of the top-ranked monthly review journal in its field, according to ISI's Science Citation Index for immunology journals.
